Big difference between watching a video and knowing a fight. No one can get through a fight without firsthand experience, NO ONE. However, at least the video will give you some insights and quicken the learning pace. Going in totally blind means you're content with wasting other people's time for no valid reason.

I went into Garuda EX with a friend and his FC, and although they had all done the fight before... I had not. I'd never even watched a video or had an explanation of all the mechanics (ie. no firsthand experience). Guess what! First attempt wipe, second attempt win.

...and before you say "they carried you", know that I was i96 and was among the last to die on the one wipe we had.

Getting through a fight is definitely possible without firsthand experience. Some people are just quick learners.

To be fair, that fight is all a tank fight, so if you are playing healer or range DPS, then it's very easy to just follow a mark and shoot the right target to get the kill.

Worst case was that you might have AoE'd the spiny but I'm sure someone explained that to you easily enough.

If the tank never watched a video, then god speed to that group.
